HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) – Following the destruction of President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month, a street artist this week placed dozens of fake vinyl stars with the president’ name along the stretch of sidewalk.

The anonymous artist, who goes by Twitter handle @TheFaction1776 posted a video Thursday of his crew installing the stars on blank squares up and down the sidewalk.

In one case, about 10 stars were placed around the real star for renowned director Rob Reiner, a vocal critic of Mr. Trump.

“Keep taking down the @realDonaldTrump star, and we will further spread Trump Derangement Syndrome by installing a never ending stream of stars,” The Faction wrote.

The Faction told The Hollywood Reporter that his group spent about $1,000 on the stars, printing them on sheets of floor vinyl with an adhesive backing.

About 50 stars were removed early Thursday morning by a Walk of Fame cleaning crew, according to THR.

This comes after the West Hollywood City Council passed a resolution Monday asking the Los Angeles City Council and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to remove Trump’s star “due to his disturbing treatment of women and other actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood, the region, state, and country.”
